Chapter 227 The Great Lake

The night is like water, and the forest is filled with misty mist.

A group of mutant insects with fists that are similar to fireflies, hiding in the hazy fog. As the fog moves, the light on their bodies fades and changes, attracting countless flying insects to approach.

However, while they attract food, they are also being noticed by the predators. A colorful creature similar to a toad is quietly hiding in the shadow of the woods. Purple eyes, like light bulbs, stare tightly at the glowing mist, with cold and greedy eyes.

Just as it was about to try, a rapid and slight sound came from a distance.

At first, the sound was very weak, vague, but just one breath seemed to be close to the ear. The "toad" body trembled slightly and quickly shrank into the shadow. At the same time, his limbs quickly moved, and soon buried most of his body in the soil, leaving only the layers of colorful pustules on his back, constantly swelling and contracting.

As soon as the "toad" finished all this, the fog was dispersed by the stirring air, and all the "fireflies" flew in all directions, and a vague figure swept past.

The rapid footsteps were getting lighter and lighter as the figure moved away, and soon they could no longer be heard.

Five minutes later, the "Toad" crawled out of the mud pit. It carefully paid attention to the surrounding situation, as if it felt that the terrible monster had been away. Its neck slightly raised, took four steps, and walked slowly towards the distance, with a proud expression like a king patrolling its territory.

………

Luo Yuan set out in the evening, and the sky was completely dark.

He didn't know how far he was from his target, he only knew that he had crossed three hills, crossed five streams, and crossed seven powerful mutant beasts that even Luo Yuan had to avoid. Only time could roughly infer how far he had run.

However, it is meaningless to infer that the distance is not the same. The steepness of the mountain and the complexity of the road are far beyond his previous imagination. Perhaps the straight line is only 100 kilometers, but the specific distance requires running five or six hundred kilometers. Sometimes, in order to be safe or avoid trouble, he has to take a detour when passing through some powerful mutant beast territory.

The chrysanthemum means that he needs to run more roads and take longer.

What's more serious is that the direction he is moving forward is just his own visual inspection. Even if he uses the constellations in the night sky instead of the direction coordinates after nightfall, and it will not be a general direction, and the error is inevitable!

The so-called slight mistake is a thousand miles away, but the short distance is fine, and the error may not be large, but the longer the distance, the sharper the gap will magnify, and even in the end, it may be more than hundreds of kilometers, which is not impossible.

What's more, he didn't know where the giant bird's nest was, and the only clue was the huge goose soft stones, but this clue was too rough. Once the nest was not nearby, the only thing he could do was wait there and wait for the rabbit. This took a lot of time and energy, and the success rate was extremely low.

Luo Yuan already had some bad premonition in his heart.

He accelerated his pace, and a few minutes later he stopped at the top of a tallest mountain nearby.

He gasped violently, looked down at his watch, and found that he had been running for nearly three hours without realizing it.

Even with his physique, it was already a little difficult to run after such a long time.

A few minutes later, when he breathed slightly, he turned over and jumped to a huge rock near him, looked into the distance, and observed the terrain.

His eyes emitted a faint light similar to a cat in the dark, and his powerful glimmer vision was almost the same as the daylight even in the dark!

"Huh!" Luo Yuan's expression was a little surprised at this time.

He found that there seemed to be a huge lake dozens of kilometers ahead. The lake surface reflected rippling light under the moonlight, and this direction was where he was about to go.

A hint of joy appeared on his face, maybe the soft stone came from there!

He also encountered several streams on the way before. After countless years of erosion, there were not many soft stones there, but they were either the size or the color and material were wrong.

The soft goose stones thrown by the giant birds weigh about four or five tons, and the color is white, similar to limestone. In the streams I encountered before, I have basically never seen similar soft goose stones.

He was shocked, and he was not ready to rest. His legs bent slightly. The next moment, his legs suddenly exerted force and jumped directly from the boulder. The hillside was steep and the slope was almost seventy degrees. This jump made him jump directly into the air and quickly descended with gravity.

There were big trees everywhere below, and the branches intertwined each other, forming a huge network. When he was about to hit the branches, his body stagnated out of thin air and had a brief stagnation. The next moment, he stepped on a branch as thick as a bowl under his body. With the huge momentum, the branches immediately broke down as soon as they touched, and the figure had already jumped into the air again with the help of this recoil force.

He jumped over a distance of more than a hundred meters. After more than a dozen times of jumps, he had already landed at the foot of the mountain.

In the past three days, his curse had long been destroyed by his own will. Not only did he recover as before, but his will was slightly further under the tempering of the curse, but his will was also more free to use it, completely reaching the point where his mind moves at will!

Although this progress is not large and has not been reflected from the system data, it is also a surprise. When the will reaches his level, it is extremely difficult to make every step further, and it takes a lot of time and special opportunities unless it is exchanged for precious attribute points.

…………

After running for nearly half an hour, Luo Yuan's speed gradually slowed down.

It is probably because the water source is nearby. The mutant beasts here are extremely dense and most of them are powerful. Not only are light green mutant beasts everywhere, but they can be seen from time to time, and there are even more powerful existences hidden in them.

The struggle here is extremely fierce, and the creepy screams have never stopped since Luo Yuan entered this area, so that there is a strong smell of blood everywhere, which makes people feel disgusting.

On the way, he even saw with his own eyes that the two ends seemed to be giants walking out of myths, biting, colliding, and fierce fighting made the entire ground shake slightly, and countless trees collapsed one after another by impact, and the viscous blood almost stained the earth.

However, Luo Yuan did not dare to take a closer look. The terrifying pressure emitted during the battle almost made him breathless. These two creatures were at least green.

The drought has lasted for seven or eight days. Under the scorching of high temperatures, most of the streams along the way have dried up, or are close to drying. Some small insects and mutant beasts can survive by dew, but for those large mutant beasts, not finding the source of water means death.

Every day, countless powerful mutant beasts rushed here following the water vapor in the air. For the sake of water sources and territory, they inevitably fought with the "natives" here, using their sharp teeth and claws to decide who is the overlord here, and then continue to meet the next wave of challengers.

The battle here is so fierce and frequent that Luo Yuan feels that the ground along the way is sticky, which makes people feel creepy and a little shocked. This is simply a killing field for mutant beasts, and the prejudice of the weak is fully reflected.

No wonder, along the way, I encountered not many powerful creatures, and it turned out that most of them had arrived here.

Because he was shielded with the "Green Hidden Man's Horn", he almost emitted no aura. Sometimes he had to pass by the noses of various powerful mutant creatures, nor did he attract the attention of any powerful creature.

After all, even if you see Luo Yuan, in the eyes of those mutated creatures, humans are too small. The "little bit" of meat probably won't even be hungry enough, and it won't arouse much interest.

However, Luo Yuan did not dare to be careless and was careful all the way. Even if the light green-level creature that was vulnerable to him now, he tried his best to avoid it. In this place full of powerful mutant beasts, try to avoid it if it can avoid fighting.

He was frightened all the way. After walking for nearly an hour, he finally saw a lake. This lake was very big. Perhaps it was due to the fog, and Luo Yuan could not see the edge at all.

At this time, countless mutant beasts gathered on the beach, queuing up to drink water.

However, what surprised Luo Yuan was that the atmosphere here seemed quiet and peaceful. Although killings occurred from time to time, they were not frequent and seemed to be restrained. Most creatures, after drinking water, turned around and left silently, as if they were two worlds from the woods before.

At this time, a light green mutant beast injured in the battle roared all the way and forced the low-level mutant beast in front of him, and walked tremblingly to the lake.

Blood gushes down the injured thighs, and soon dyeing the nearby lake water red.

As if attracted by the blood, the lake gradually rippled slightly. Perhaps it was too thirsty, or perhaps it didn't care at all. It just glanced at the restless water surface and drank water in big mouthfuls.

Some mutant beasts behind it retreated one after another, away from here, but it still seemed as if it hadn't realized it.

Suddenly, a drastic change occurred, and the lake water was violently turbulent. Almost at the same time, countless strange fishes that were about a few meters long and seemed to be earthworms, pierced through the water surface like a rain of swords and headed towards the wound of the mutant beast. As soon as they touched the wound, the strange fish's body twisted violently for a few times, and then flexibly entered.

These creatures are extremely fast, completely surpassing the visual capture ability of ordinary people. In just a moment, Luo Yuan had already seen no less than a dozen strange fishes drilling into the wound.

The strange fish is too small for the mutant beast, and it is penetrated by a wound that is already painful. It is not obvious that it is not right until a few seconds passed. It raised its head uneasily.

But it was too late. During this period, Luo Yuan saw hundreds of strange fish drilling into its body and desperately drilling inside. After a few seconds, bulges gradually appeared on the surface of his skin, wandering around quickly, making his scalp numb.

The mutant beast began to roar violently, and the strong sound waves seemed to turn into substance, making the water surface boil, and the water splashes jumped violently. However, these strange fishes obviously had extremely strong vitality. After just a slight pause, they had returned to normal.

Even taking advantage of the open space of the other party, dozens of strange fish shot into its open mouth, nostrils, ears and anywhere they could drill into.

There were more strange fish, densely packed like a shadow, wandering towards it.

At this time, it finally remembered that it was about to escape, but it was too late. It had just taken a step and felt a sense of powerlessness. Its body swayed a few times, and its huge body fell heavily into the water, splashing a huge wave.
